Are you planning a pregnancy? Do you have a medical problem or are you on long term medication? Have you had a complicated pregnancy before? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, please consider a consultation.

Dr Lucy Mackillop BM BCh MA MRCP(UK) is a specialist in medical complications of pregnancy and the management of pre-existing medical problems during pregnancy. I can provide advice and support for women with any medical problem who are planning a pregnancy or who are already pregnant.

Pre-Pregnancy Advice

I can help you prepare for pregnancy. I provide advice and support for women with pre-existing medical conditions, for example, high blood pressure, or a history of clots (DVT or PE). I also provide advice for women with a history of a medical complication in pregnancy, for example pre-eclampsia, and advise on the risk of this happening in the next pregnancy.

I believe careful planning prior to pregnancy leads to a better experience for women and their families and may improve the chances of a successful, healthy pregnancy.

I provide a medical opinion for women with medical problems arising during pregnancy or immediately afterwards. This can be for symptoms such as shortness of breath or palpitations or for management of medical problems such as migraines or high blood pressure. I can also provide a medical opinion for the suitability of delivery in the community.
